Running Scripts in Remote Sytems

As a System Administrator we would want to run some simple scripts in multiple computers. Microsoft has some great tools to ease the job, PsTools is really powerful easy tool.

PsTools is a bundle, we are look at PsExec. Which can be used to run scripts on remote computers.

Below is a simple example to find uptime of multiple systems and dumping to a file.

- Enter the system names in a notepad and save as a batch file (eg. mc.bat)
- Have a script written and save it as a batch file. (eg. uptime.bat "systeminfo | find "Up Time")
- This script will write the uptime of the systems on the command prompt
- Now use the tool to run it. Ensure you are in the directory where the tool is. Also ensure admin share is enabled in the remote systems.
psexec @mc.bat -u "username" -p "password" /c "path to script"
- This will execute the script in the remote systems mentioned in the mc.bat file.
